I wouldn't do it...why didn't they show what they were selling?

If they were selling the manifolds why were they showing the TT setup?

Here is a good pic of their finished product with "ceramic" coat. Looks more like aluminum paint to me. The quality looks to be a little rough too. Not what I would call a good design.

That cannot be a pic of the TT header design. It is for a single setup. (Note the pipe to connect the other side.)

And those have to be the worst TIG welds ever... LOL

Yeah they are probably not the tt headers. But that pic is from THEIR website. http://www.bbsdesigns.net/scstore/gr...0for%20web.JPG

Here are the Twins and they still look like junk.

SURF, Look again. The pic I commented on is for a single setup. It has a small wastegate tube forward and then the big crosspipe to connect the other side exhaust.
Trust me, I have seen this type of setup before.

Banks makes a nice twin turbo manifold set up. Check them out here:

http://www.bankspower.com/twin-turbo-products.cfm

The front accessory drive is all made by Vintage Air. It is the same system I installed on that 572 installation that I did a few weeks ago. However the TT system is all banks and its pretty simple. Check out their cast iron manifolds and the hat for the EFI TB. The EFI system is a basic Accel Pro Ram single plane set up, and its just a blow thru system. Simple but very effective.

Will those log style manifolds that Banks sells fit the C4? I'd worry about the clearance in the back for a downpipe.

Is the banks kit a generic kit or is it for a C4? I heard that they were coming out with a kit several months back on here somewhere, but haven't heard anything since.
